Summary:
"Surveying some of the most under-appreciated art of the 20th century, this program documents a groundbreaking exhibit of work by Latin American women at the Milwaukee Art Museum. The video opens up the world of these bold and sensitive visionaries, illuminating their accomplishments, their impact on artists outside their own countries, and the relationship between cultural and artistic identity. Features the work of legendary artists such as Brazil's Tarsila do Amaral and Mexico's Frida Kahlo and María Izquierdo and many others. Includes recent interviews with living artists such as Colombian painter Fanny Sanín, Chilean multi-media artist Soledad Salamé, Venezuelan sculptor Elba Damast and Cuban multi-media artist María Campos Pons, the program reevaluates notions of mainstream and margin in the contemporary art world."--Container.
